Seriously almost threw hot pizza at my co-workers facell today.
So we're serving lunch, and a grade was about 20 minutes late, which already had me perturbed because that meant after serving them I'd have 10 minutes to the the millions of thingsI had to before highschool.
So I'm hucking out trays at everyone just trying to get done, and there's one student just standing there holding up the line. So I say "What're you looking for?"
"I want it on a Styrofoam plate." Now this kid has been doing this almost every day now for about 30 days or so. And yesterday I finally brought it up to the boss lady and she said to find out his reasoning, because if it isn't a very good one then we need to save money and have him just use a regular washable tray.
So I ask what he needs the plate for, and he said it's because he brings a lunch box with snacks, and that the plate makes it "easier." Now, the garbage is literally next to where they deposit trays, so I ask if for recycling reasons if he could use a black tray, because it costs us more money to buy Styrofoam than it does to wash one tray.
Well he says fine I need a disappointed tone and takes it. Immediately afterward my coworker turns to me and starts flipping out about how I didn't have to make him sad and disappointed and that I should've just given him a plate. The same coworker that complains everyday about him asking.
To make matters worse she kept cursing at me, thenot went around complaining about me to the other people in the kitchen, so at this point it's a huge drama over a kid who didn't get his way. Though my boss literally said it was my call, and that she'd prefer to save the money on plates.
I could under stand if the kid was leaving the Cafe or had an actual need for the plate but jesus, I've never seen someone make such a big issue over nothing e.e
